Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis was the most common underlying etiology (68%), with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis being the predominant subtype. The typical clinical presentation consisted of acute-onset, asymmetric, distal involvement of the lower extremities, with foot drop as the most frequent manifestation (69.4%). Electrophysiological findings were consistent with a classical MM pattern in the majority of patients. Most patients received high-dose glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressive therapy. Over a median follow-up of 29\u2009months, 81.9% of patients achieved complete or partial neurological improvement. Outcomes were similar between ANCA-associated and non-ANCA-related diseases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MM represents a clinically diverse but potentially manageable neurological complication of rheumatic diseases.
